Pieter Vos demonstrates that post-Reformation theological ethics still understands the good in terms of the good life, takes virtues as necessary for living the good life and considers human nature as a source of moral knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVos approaches Protestant theology as an important bridge between pre-modern virtue ethics, shaped by Aristotle and transformed by Augustine of Hippo, and late modern understandings of morality. The volume covers a range of topics, going from eudaimonism and Calvinist ethics to Reformed scholastic virtue ethics and character formation in the work of S ren Kierkegaard. The author shows how Protestantism has articulated other-centered virtues from a theology of grace, affirmed ordinary life and emphasized the need of transformation of this life and its orders. Engaging with philosophy of the art of living, Neo-Aristotelianism and exemplarist ethics, he develops constructive contributions to a contemporary virtue ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePieter Vos\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Military Chaplaincy Studies and Associate Professor of Ethics at the Protestant Theological University, the Netherlands.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"T\u0026T Clark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50900801552658,"sku":"9780567696830","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d3f67fda-040a-4289-9597-6d3540ac67fe.jpg?v=1738397650","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/longing-for-the-good-life-virtue-ethics-after-protestantism-9780567696830","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
